Gather ye remaining wits and blog this party

Lately I been seeing a few more emails as some folks begin gearing up for the next reunion. The site is getting visited more often, so that's good too. That means somebody from the neighborhood's out there, and right now it happens to be you!

It's a year-round way to put a lasting, vibrant and funny face on the College Park experience. Yes, yours! So please sign up and use this site to post some of your stuff or comment to reach the entire group instead of email wherever possible.

This post sounds desperate and my pic looks stupid because it's the only one. AND it is generally lame for just one person in a community to post regularly. I'm not into dominating the conversation (if any) or taking the lack of "community involvement" personally, really. Just inviting you to step up and have some fun posting too.

You know what makes the reunion a lot of fun doesn't all have to be shoehorned into one long, fun, intoxicating weekend every couple of years. There's a lifetime of relationships, families, friends, and memories, that go on all year long, year in and year out. "We" can do more to nurture this shared story year 'round till we give in to dementia, decrepitude and gravity! So please post somethin' Mister! Or Missus!

Blogging is as easy as using email and it lasts longer. Plus you can find what you put into it again in seconds—even years down the road. Try doing that with email! In fact, the blog invitation process takes all of a couple minutes, and that's the hardest part! After you sign up for your own account you can write your own posts, upload pics, embed videos, and generally have a good time using all the digital content you've got stashed on your computer. Within a few minutes you could be doing this.

After all, what good is your shutterbug fetish if you don't have a place on the web to share it?

I KNOW WE ALL HAVE FANCY DIGITAL CAMERAS, FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND STORIES. I KNOW YOU'RE SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BLOG TOO. YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY AND MEDIA TO SHARE. YOU'RE NOT SQUARE. (ARE YOU?)

THAT'S RIGHT, I KNOW YOU'RE INTERESTING BECAUSE YOU'RE FROM GULFPORT AND STILL HAVE FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELLS! ENOUGH TO USE A COMPUTER...

I KNOW (OKAY, I HOPE) YOU TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT WHEN I SHOUT AND MAKE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT YOUR MENTAL CONDITION. BUT HEY YOU PROBABLY KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THIS REQUEST IS COMING FROM. (No, not there.)

How about it on contributing to the bloggeddy goodness, College Parkers? Put up yer bonafides!

Best to all!
